I. Introduction

This NuProg-F8 user manual illustrates its hardware specifications, instructions, and

quick software installation guide. NuProg-F8 is a combination of programmer and

duplicator, which is dedicated to support high capacity memory, like UFS and eMMC. For

UFS, it provides the basic LUN/RPMB read and write, Descriptors, Attributes, and the

Flag settings. As for eMMC, it supports User Area, Boot1/2 and RPMB read and write,

also provides ExtCsd settings, as well as GPP1~4 divisions and Enhance setting. With

USB3.0 high speed transmission, Nuprog-F8 is the finest programmer and duplicator for

research and development.

5.2.2 Connect NuProg-F8 to the computer (USB 3.0 is recommended).

5.2.3 Once start running the Dediware, it will detect programmer automatically and

available for programming.

5.3 NuProg Installation Guide This section will only illustrate the Copy Function. More information about the Engineering mode, please refer to the “NuProg-E User Manual”.

5.3.1 Double click NuProg to start Dediware.

5.3.2 Software Introduction

Engineering mode and Functions: Menu includes general functions, like languages selection, buffer settings, and firmware updates…etc. And, the function icons are for the Engineering mode to create the master IC chip.

Programmer Information: It shows whether the programmer and the Dediware are connected. NuProg-F8 has master device and slave devices, but when the NuProg-F8 is connected to the PC (USB mode), it can only operate the Master Chip, since the Copy function only works in Standalone mode. As shown as Fig 5-8, the Firmware version of the master is 1.7.4; FPGA version is 151. The Firmware version of the slave is 2.2.26; FPGA version is 153.

5.4 Stand Alone Mode

NuProg-F8 uses standalone mode to achieve Copy functions; standalone mode means it can be used without connecting to a computer. Please follow the below steps: Step 1. After turn on NuProg-F8, the main screen will show the Firmware version and the FPGA version of the master device. When the NuProg Software is not connected to the programmer, user can use the LCD keypad to enter the standalone mode on NuProg-F8.

Step 2. Choose UFS or eMMC according to user’s need.


www.dediprog.com 16

In the Print Programmer Info, the LCD will display Programmer FW/FPGA/SN…etc.

In the Check socket counter, the LCD will display each connected socket counter.

Step 3. After select Copy UFS or Copy eMMC, please set up the Batch Setting according to user’s need, press enter to continue, and NuProg-F8 will detect the master IC.


www.dediprog.com 17

Step 4. Set ID check enable or not. Usually it is recommended to Enable ID check. This is designed for different chips copying, however, please note that it still has some limitations.

Master chip size need to be smaller than the Copied chips. Do not mix the chip types, EX: eMMC chips copy to UFS chips. eMMC extCSD / UFS attributes, and flags have some OTP values, if the copied chips

has already been written those bit (byte), but the master IC has not, then it might occur copy failure.

Step 5. Click enter to the next page, NuProg-F8 will initialize the master chip, after finishing the process, the result will appear on the LCD. It shows details information of the master IC; including the part number, the LUNs, and the partition size.


www.dediprog.com 18

Step 6. Press enter and it will give the choices of loading the Config file (N) or

re-scanning the master IC (Y).

Step 6-1. If choosing No at Step 6, it will show Image Config, which will be saved

automatically after scanning the master IC. This selection usually will be used in the

below situations:

The users have a large count of IC devices need to copy, and need to shut down the programmer every day.

The users want to Verify operation.

If users do not want to re-scan the master IC, they can select [No] to reduce scanning

time, but please note that NuProg-F8 only saves one default config, so if re-scan the

master IC, F8 will create another new config file and also cover the old one.


www.dediprog.com 19

After reviewing the master IC info, press Enter to start initializing and the copy process.

Step 6-2-1. If choosing Yes at Step 6, then it will ask for the size range for scan limit

setting.


www.dediprog.com 20

Step 6-2-2. Start scanning the master IC and it will display its result.

Step 6-2-3. Next, after reviewing the master IC info, press Enter to start initializing and the copy process. Please also remember that F8 has already saved a new config. Therefore, users can load it next time when they want to copy the same master IC.

Step 7. Start copying.

There are a lot of information on this page, please see the following desciptions.


www.dediprog.com 21

P/N: IC master’s IC part number.

Batch: programming operations.

Checksum: chip checksum.

Total: total counter in this production process.

Pass: total pass and each site pass counter in this production process.

Fail: total failure and each site failed counter in this production process.

SKT: socket site numbers.

STATUS&PROGRESS: display each site’s programming status.

MB/s: display each site’s programming speed.

start xx/img xx/ DDR: only display standalone mode working status, users can usually

ignore it.

Step 8. In order to exit the copy process after production, click the Exit button on the LCD Keypad and it will ask if users would like to exit the copy mode.

VI. Trouble Shooting and Other Questions

Q1. How to update NuProg-F8’s Firmware and FPGA?

Ans. There are some update options under Help as the below figure:

The description of each selection:

1. Firmware Manual Update (For Experts Only): it is for updating the Master’s

Firmware.

2. Master FPGA Manual Update (For Experts Only): it is for updating the Master’s

FPGA.

3. Slave Firmware Manual Update (All): it is for updating the Slave’s Firmware.

4. Slave FPGA Manual Update (All): it is for updating the Slave’s FPGA.

5. LCD Firmware Update: it is for updating LCD keypad’s firmware.

6. Download default vector table: Download a new vector file from NuProg

software.

There is a standard procedure to upgrade the firmware, please see the following to

upgrade:

1. Slave FPGA

2. Master FPGA

3. Slave Firmware

4. Master Firmware

Please remember to restart the NuProg-F8 once it has finished updating.


www.dediprog.com 23

Q2. If eMMC IC is not recognizable on the NuProg-F8 when the user has pressed the

Detect button, what to do next?

Ans. First, please check if the IC model is supported. If it is not supported yet, please

contact DediProg, so we can add the new IC model name to the software database. If the

IC model name is supported, then please check if it is the correct socket, or does it have

bad connection or damages.

Q3. If UFS IC is not recognizable on the NuProg-F8 when the user has pressed the

Detect button, what to do next?

Ans. First, please check if the IC model is supported. If it is not supported yet, please

contact DediProg, so we can add the new IC model name to the software database. If the

IC model name is supported, then please check if it is the correct socket, or does it have

bad connection or damages.

Q4. What is Image Config?

Ans. In standalone mode, NuProg-F8 will create a file to record data distributed area of

the master chip, also record some information like IC part number and other detail info.

In order to reduce the time to scan the master IC, users can load this config back if users

want to copy the same master IC, please remember this config only can save one at

same time, it will refresh and cover the old config once users scan the master IC again.
